Hagerty, Lisa

Although not a native Texan, Lisa Hagerty moved there when she was six and with the exception of a short stint for graduate school, has never wanted to leave. Being an author was the first occupation she ever aspired to, but the first book she ever wrote in 4th grade, The Protractor People, will live on only in her memory. She lives in North Texas with her dog Stewart, who likes to jump fences and out of second story windows, and her daughter, who helps chase after him.
